100,000-SF TechTown Incubator Gains Tenants

DETROIT-Bioko, IC Datacom and USA Skills join the tenant roster at TechTown, a business incubator building supported by Wayne State University. The building next to the university's Downtown campus now has nine tenants.

DETROIT-Three high-tech firms have become tenants at TechTown in the city, a business incubator building supported by Wayne State University and adjacent to Wayne’s Downtown campus. In March, advanced engineering firm Bioko, information technology company IC Datacom and life science venture USA Skills all rented space in TechOne, a 100,000-sf building that is the first phase of a 12-block area in the city dubbed TechTown.

TechTown is part of the Woodward Technology Corridor SmartZone. The new rentals bring the number of tenants in the facility to nine. With three new leases signed at once, TechOne’s occupancy timetable is ahead of schedule, organizers say.

“This is an indication that we are seeing real traction in attracting tenants to our park,” says TechTown executive director Howard Bell. “This surge of tenants has created a good problem in that we’re now pressed to find other locations within our building to house our next candidates for space.”
